does anyone know when waitlist movement usually starts?
Tell us more about this, because on the interview day spiel I heard everything about how you're graded on effort and interest and not ability to get coffee or answer pimp questions, and that you even have the opportunity to retake shelf exams.
Not sure if this has been asked yet, but does anyone know what the deal is with the "Request a Secondary Application" for those who've received less than a 25 MCAT or have a GPA lower than 3.0? I know it's intended for those with "extraordinary" UG or post-bacc clinical/scientific experience, but I'm still a little bit confused about this? Thanks!
Wait, when did award letters come out? I thought we were supposed to be notified via e-mail? I don't have access to a regular computer right now so can someone let me know if they are available somewhere online? Thanks.On the financial aid award, does anyone know if the "NSLIJ Scholarships" are need-based aid or merit-based? I know the website says that most scholarships are need-based, but I was just curious if anyone had anymore info about this

Anybody else waiting on the award letter?
July 29th to Aug. 1stDoes anyone know when orientation starts?
What's the deal with 3rd/4th clinical years and the NS-LIJ health system? Will students have the ability to choose which sites they'd like to rotate at? Like if they wanted to do some blocks at Lennox Hill and others at North Shore University Hospital and others at LIJMC? - or are all the rotations done at one hospital?
Does anyone know Hofstra's average board scores last yr?
did you send an interest letter prior to be accepted?Yay! just accepted off the wait list. Darn this is difficult. I was already set on going elsewhere. Now I have to rethink things.
yeah I was wondering about the anatomy experience as well. Is it hands off in that instructors dissect everything for us or do they just demonstrate the more difficult things and leave us to the more standard dissections? I find it very difficult to imagine a medical school that does not allow students to cut open cadavers for themselves as that sounds pretty backwards and would be crappy for aspiring surgeons. I think there is something fundamental missing in my understanding of how Hofstra's anatomy lab works differently from other schools.
nopedid you send an interest letter prior to be accepted?
Congrats . How were you notified?
Exact GPA stats but 31 MCAT and was accepted MD/PhD in February.Anybody get accepted with similar stats: 3.4 cGPA, 3.3 sGPA, and 25 MCAT? lol
Nice congrats! So you think I should bring that score up huh? I'm a URM, so I don't know if that'll work to my advantage.Exact GPA stats but 31 MCAT and was accepted MD/PhD in February.
Yeahhh I got interviews/waitlists elsewhere but I think it's because of my ECs and not my stats. It can only help.Nice congrats! So you think I should bring that score up huh? I'm a URM, so I don't know if that'll work to my advantage.
Would any current student be able to speak about away rotations at Hofstra (are you allowed to take them and if so, how many)? And are there chances for a global health experience (whether its during the summer after M1 or a full rotation during M4)?
Hey,Hi everyone I just recently got off the wait-list and realized we're told to read the whole 1500 page EMT book before the first day of class. Does anyone know how important it is to read this book before the first day of class? It seems like a lot to read before classes start, especially since I'm going to be travelling for a few weeks in between now and then. And also everyone around me (including people on SDN) are telling me to just relax and do nothing this summer since according to them, no amount of pre-reading could possibly help you out
